I have chosen the The Walking Dead
There are several reasons for this:
- It evolves - the show appears to have gotten better as time goes on, and I definitely did not lose interest.
- It's not necessarily about the zombies - the zombies are a set piece, but it's about how humans react when their humanity is stripped from them. The zombies are a metaphor, if not always a clear one, in addition to being a cool, terrifying element of the show.
- It has great characters - you feel you are emotionally involved with virtually every character within the show, which is quite an achievement considering how many characters come and go throughout the series’ .
- It's unpredictable - it tells a story whilst having high stakes, making it a unique viewing experience for dedicated viewers, and there are a number of deaths which you do not see coming
- It cares about its credibility - Zombies do not exist, but the show makes you believe they could and it doesn't seem that far from a possible truth.
- I like the thought of creating a zombie-like character - the “walkers” look real as they stumble through the woods and murder main characters. If you pay close enough attention, you can actually notice that the walkers look more and more decrepit with each passing season as they age and starve, as there are a smaller amount of people left to feast on.
